Victorian Path Tiles FAQs

What Are Victorian Tiles?

Victorian tiles are a type of decorative tile dating back to the Victorian era (1837-1901). They feature intricate patterns and designs and are often used for flooring, walls and other decorative purposes. Some of the key characteristics of Victorian tiles include rich, deep colours; elaborate patterns including geometric shapes, floral mosaics and decorative borders; handcrafted styles including embossed or relief surfaces and natural materials like clay, ceramic and stone. Combining different colours, patterns and materials on floors, walls and fireplaces is a popular way to achieve an eclectic, decorative look.

What Tiles Are Suitable For A Path?

When choosing Victorian tiles for a path in your home, it is best to opt for slip-resistant quarry, clay or encaustic tiles in earthy terracotta hues. Intricate geometric patterns, floral designs and mosaics add visual flair. Rustic quarry tiles offer natural stone textures. installed properly, Victorian porch and path tiles create a vintage look that withstands the elements.

Natural clays, ceramics and stones were the most fashionable, ornate options for traditional Victorian tiles. Clay was a very common tile material, and encaustic, ceramic and quarry tiles in rich colours and patterns were among the most popular, as were glass or mosaic patterns. Slate, granite, limestone and sandstone were the main natural stones used for their durability and texture. Hand-painted ceramic tiles with floral and nature designs were popular in the late Victorian period. Concrete Victorian tiles are a more affordable and durable option, particularly for outdoor use.

One of the best tradesmen I’ve ever worked with! Would absolutely recommend to anyone. We had our Victorian hallway tiling redone and couldn’t be happier with the result. Kevin is highly skilled and a master of his craft, and also highly professional, kind, courteous and considerate. He is completely reliable and his attention to detail is second-to-none. Incredible product and service! Thank you so much Kevin :)

Kevin and his team spent 3months renovating the whole ground floor with underfloor heating, etc working around kitchen fitters from another vendor. Kevin’s project managing skills can’t be questioned. Involved in the project Kevin supplied plasterers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters getting everyone working in conjunction with each other and with this, when a tradesman stated a time of arrival they turned up on the dot. The quality of the work was exceptional with nothing being to much trouble when working with such a demanding client as my wife. Don’t hesitate to ask Kevin about any bigger project as he has built up a talented group of tradesman that have and could solve the issues we all have finding good quality tradesmen that turn up and want to supply a top quality end result.

Reigate Tile Emporium won the tender to replace two floors of our house with tiles that had not been properly laid when our house was built just over two years ago. We had various companies around during the tender process but the minute Kevin Harris arrived to review the proposed works, it was immediately apparent his attention to detail, knowledge and advice were leagues above everyone else. Thankfully they went on to win the tender ! And wow what an amazing job they did. This was no simple or small job. We had issues with the original screed not having been dried out correctly or the laitance removed before the original tiles were laid. All these issues were identified by Kevin and a plan instigated to ensure the necessary corrective actions were taken. Throughout the works we were kept up-to date on an almost daily basis - nothing was too much trouble. I can’t say enough about Kevin and his teams expertise. And the final result? Just amazing - even the surveyor appointed by our Loss Adjuster commented that it was some of the best tiling he has ever seen. We are so so happy with the final result. All I can say is this - I doubt they are the cheapest but considering the nightmare we went through having to move out of our property for 14 weeks due to the poor job that was originally done, think really hard if they quote and aren’t the cheapest. It’s just not worth taking the risk. Reigate Tile Emporium seriously know their stuff and more importantly are passionate about what they do and their workmanship is simply superb. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for! Thank you once again Kevin and the team - incredible job - we’ve fallen back in love with our amazing house thanks to you.
